Junior Toshio Mana, worked with Linda Shockley,
director of Conservatory Public Relations in
creating the new home page. Shockley said, "Tosh
deserves the credit for pulling together this
massive project. He has the technological know-how
to create web pages, a terrific eye for design and
a wonderful sense of humor. He also has good chops
for grammar and a feel for the rhythm of language.
He's been a delightful partner."

Mana hails from Visalia, Calif. A double bass
and composition major, Mana has studied with Edward
Miller, Param Vir, Pieter Snapper, Benedict
Weisser, Thomas Sperl and Peter Dominguez. He has
performed with the Oberlin Orchestra, Oberlin

You Like It. View the new home page at www.oberlin.edu/con
